And you asked me what I want this year   And I'll try to make this kind and clear   Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days      'Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings   In designer love and empty things   Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days      So take these words and sing out loud   ?Cause everyone is forgiven now   ?Cause tonight's the night the world begins again      I need someplace simple where we could live   And something only you can give   And that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive      And the one poor child who saved this world   And there's 10 million more who probably could   If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them      So take these words and sing out loud   ?Cause everyone is forgiven now   ?Cause tonight's the night the world begins again      I wish everyone was loved tonight   And somehow stop this endless fight   Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days      So take these words and sing out loud   ?Cause everyone is forgiven now   ?Cause tonight's the night the world begins again   ?Cause tonight's the night the world begins again
